Advancements in automation have helped gradually move the world towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Nicknamed “Industry 4.0,” these improvements in how the average supply chain functions have raised the bar for what customers expect from your E-commerce business.
It is more important now than ever to update your business for the future. One of the most important aspects that will get you there is a great combination of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Warehouse Management System (WMS) like CloudCelero offers.
CeleroERP
When it comes to starting your business on the path towards automation, there is nothing better than a good Enterprise Resource Planning software. Previously, it could be an absolute pain to have to search through a multitude of spreadsheets and files to get a single piece of data. However, with an ERP system, you can employ a consolidated database for all your business’s information, allowing everyone in your organization to access the data no matter their department. Originally, ERP’s were meant to streamline general functions for HR and accounting, but as time went on, most systems started to become far more multifaceted.
Today, a proper ERP setup is expected to properly integrate into your systems, automating your business’s operations, something that CeleroERP can do for you. Whether you are looking for digital commerce solutions or wish to scale your operations, CeleroERP presents a flexible, modular approach for organizing your business.
Sporting the expected features of an ERP like inventory management and organization and the ability to stage orders, Celero also provides various functions that will give you an edge over your competition. Offering real-time connectivity throughout the entire sales process in conjunction with Magento, CeleroERP allows you to manage your catalog, accept payment, or start a return just as easily. Additionally, it also supports accounting data integration to Quick Books and other accounting systems, even sporting Currency and U OM conversion.
CeleroWMS
While it is convenient to have an ERP setup in place, it would ultimately be nothing without a proper Warehouse Management System to back it up. Used as a catch-all term, WMS consists of coordinating shipping, building layout, and labor supervision, all of which ensures your business is operating as fast and as efficiently as possible. Not to be confused with inventory management, warehouse management involves the ordering, storing, and organizing of raw materials, but the two do go hand in hand.
Keeping track of your warehouse’s operations is a lot for anyone to keep track of, and that is where a Warehouse Management System like what CeleroWMS has to offer comes in. Providing all the organizational help for your inventory like the creation of reserves and item categorization, CloudCelero can provide your business the tools you will need to prepare for automation. Additionally, you will be able to be on top of your shipping game thanks to integrations with Ship station, allowing logistics and transportation companies like FedEx, UPS, and DHL to pick up your orders as soon as possible.
The benefits CeleroWMS do not just help your business, as your customers will also notice the difference. CloudCelero gives you the option to allocate orders upon entry or hold for a more traditional wave allocation, in addition to the ability to track orders submitted to the floor quickly. This means that you can prioritize your most important customers first, exceeding their expectations each and every time.
